RS mic you suggest is an omni-directional unit, though. The student needs to be
able to aim the mic at the desired sound source, so as to isolate it from the
background sounds/noise. A highly directional mic with a high level output is
what we need. I’ll check RS’s other listings.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:"Courier New"'>We'd like to enable our students who use Telex FM
ALDs to hear questions asked by students and other classroom interactions by
providing a hand-held microphone which can be aimed in the desired direction.
The mic would be plugged into the aux jack on the Telex TDR-4AA FM receiver
that receives the lecture.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Courier New"'>I tried a generic microphone, but the level was too
low. Though I could put something together that will work, I wonder if Telex
has an accessory mic. I tried to find one on their web site, but was frustrated
by the lack of clear navigation--or maybe the info just isn't there.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
